Pistrucci²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Greatrex| OR: 65

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 7 months/gelded, shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 22 days ago. Steps up in trip now and drop in class can help.

Form: 0594-6

(7)

Hibernate³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65

4/1

Kodiac filly who got back on track switched to a handicap despite still looking very raw when respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 35 days ago. Likely has more in his locker as he gains experience/goes up further in trip.

Form: 097-4

(6)

Gigi Bliss²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

11/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 22/1) 25 days ago, finding the test inadequate. Marked increase in trip rates a likely plus now handicapping and surprise where she not capable of better.

Form: 45-7

Telecommunication³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 63| BF

11/4

Arizona gelding who failed to meet expectations having been well backed when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago. That was his first start for 5 months and he remains lightly raced, so certainly not one to be writing off yet.

Form: 9683-4

(5)

Antelope³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 62

13/2

Maiden who has a patchy profile but took a step back in the right direction after 6 weeks off when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago, no extra final 1f. Not out of things for all his very best effort came at around 1m.

Form: 0270-63

Gretna Dreams¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: S Pearce| OR: 61

11/1

Left previous efforts behind switched to a nursery when winning 5-runner contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in September, awarded race outright having suffered interference. Struggled in face of stiff task when well held fifth at Newmarket final start but this more suitable back from 6 months off.

Form: 847145-

What A Nation¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 60

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago. Makes turf debut. Something to find on form.

Form: 95-55

Forecasts

Telecommunication (11/4), Gigi Bliss (11/4), Hibernate (4/1), Antelope (13/2), Pistrucci (15/2), Glenridding (8/1), Gretna Dreams (11/1), What A Nation (18/1)

An open-looking contest with a chance taken on GIGI BLISS. Richard Hannon's filly looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and this increase in trip could well unlock some improvement. Telecommunication disappointed on his return at Wolverhampton but his strength in the market that day shouldn't be forgotten and he's likely worth another chance. Hibernate is another with better days ahead of him.
